Note that suffix -er doesn't apply to everything. It only works for people who use things for their occupations/jobs (painter meaning someone who paints, etc). The word 'battle' means 'any conflict or struggle', which is not a job more or less, so sticking -er in the end grammatically does not make sense.

I'm thinking the name Battler came from those western flicks Rudolph adores so much. Not anything WWII-ish. Perhaps a coincidence?
